Awalé Resources Limited Reports New Drilling Results from the First 12 Holes of its Resource and Expansion Drilling Program At the BBM Gold-Copper Discovery Within the Odienne Project in Cote d'Ivoire
Awalé Resources Limited reported new drilling results from the first 12 holes of its resource and expansion drilling program at the BBM gold-copper discovery within the Odienne Project in Cote d'Ivoire. The latest assays confirm strong grade continuity and thickness at BBM, continuing to build confidence as Awale advances toward its initial Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") targeted for second quarter 2026. Importantly, Awale has also completed an 11-hole, 7,000-metre step-down program targeting the down-plunge extension of BBM's high-grade core, designed to test underground potential to approximately 600 metres vertical depth. The robust nature of mineralization gives increasing confidence in upcoming mineral resource estimate. In parallel with this shallow infill program, have systematically drill-tested the down-plun ge extension of the high-grade shoot that forms the core of the BBM mineralization. This deeper drilling has the potential to see BBM emerge as the largest gold-copper deposit in West Africa. trigger (Au g/t), OEDD0074, 265, 286, 21, 3.1, 0.55, 1.9, 329, 3.1, 2, OEDD0074, 304, 315, 11, 3.6, 0.45, 1.5, 349, 3.4, 2, OEDD0197, 461, 471, 10, 2.1, 0.46, 1.2, 137, 2.2, 2, OEDD104, 326, 338, 12, 2.8, 0.84, 3.8, 704, 3.2, 2, O EDD0105, 93, 103, 10, 2.4, 0.54, 1.8, 1.8, 511, 2.5, 2, OEDD 0119, 208, 223, 15, 3.6, 1.52, 1.8, 479, 3.4, 2.1, 534, 3.3, 2, OEDD00153, 669, 12, 2.2, 0.43, 1.8, 359, 2, 2, 2, OEDD0, 2, OEDD0253, 669, 12.2, 2, OedD0157, 241, 246, 5.00, 3.7, 0.38, 1.3, 582, 4.6, 2, OEDD04, 272, 275, 3.00, 5.9, 0.80, 3.3, 204, 7.2, 2, OEq. 2, OEDD0157, 298, 308, 10.00, 3.9, 0.48, 1.3, 1.3, 309, 4.7, 2.7, 2.2. BBM Resource Drilling. These results mark the second batch of assays from Awale's 2026 resource development drilling across BBM, Charger, and Empire, forming part of the Company's 100,000-metre drill campaign at Odienne. The 12 holes reported in this release form part of a 20-hole resource drilling program designed to support an initial mineral resource estimate for the BBM target in second quarter of 2026. An initial two-hole diamond drill program has also been completed as a step-out to the northwest of the resource drill area, with the aim of better understanding the geology and tenor of mineralization associated with a modelled second plunging shoot. The Company benefits from a skilled and well-seasoned technical team that allows it to continue exploring in a pro-mining jurisdiction that offers significant potential for district-scale discoveries. Once fire assay results are received, samples over 5 g/t gold are routinely screen fire assayed, samples lower than 5 g/t gold continued within a high-grade interval are also screen fire assayed. Mr. Ch. Ch. Ch. Ch, the Company has also completed an 11-holes, samples are also screen fire assay results are also screen fire assay results were received. Ch, samples lower than 5-grade interval.
